Weight is another important factor especially when deciding on a camera that you want to carry with you all day.
Casio EX-Z550 is 7g lighter than the Panasonic FX48 but we don't think this will make a significant difference.
Weather Sealing
Unfortunately neither Panasonic Lumix DMC-FX48 (Lumix DMC-FX40) nor Casio Exilim EX-Z550 provides any type of weather sealing in their body, so you have to give extra care especially when you are shooting outdoors.

Casio EX-Z550's 2.7" LCD screen is slightly larger than Panasonic FX48's 2.5" screen.
